You place a 500 g block of an unknown substance in an insulated container filled 2 kg of water. The block has an initial tempera

ture of 50 degrees C. The water is initially at 20 degrees C. If the equilibrium temperature of the block and water is 25 degrees C, what is the specific heat of the block? The specific heat of water is 4186 J. kg K. 3349 J, kg C 1189 J, kg C 5545 J, kg C 750 J/kg C 2080 J/kg C

Answer:

3349J/kgC

Explanation:

Questions like these are properly handled having this fact in mind;

  • Heat loss = Heat gained

Quantity of heat = mcΔ∅

m = mass of subatance

c = specific heat capacity

Δ∅ = change in temperature

m₁c₁(∅₂-∅₁) = m₂c₂(∅₁-∅₃)

m₁ = mass of block = 500g = 0.5kg

c₁  = specific heat capacity of unknown substance

∅₂ = block initial temperature = 50oC

∅₁ = equilibrium temperature of block and water after mix= 25oC

m₂= mass of water = 2kg

c₂ = specific heat capacity of water = 4186J/kg C

∅₃ = intial temperature of water = 20oC

0.5c₁(50-25) = 2 x 4186(25-20)

And we can find c₁ which is the unknown specific heat capacity

c₁ = \frac{2*4186*5}{0.5*25}= 3348.8J/kg C≅ 3349J/kg C

Answer:

Tangential velocity = 10.9 m/S

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Force = 20 N

Time = 1.2 S

Length = 16.5 cm

Radius = 33.0 cm

Moment of inertia = 1200 kg.cm^2 = 1200 × 10^(-4) kg.m^2

= 1200 × 10^(-2) m^2

Revolution of the pedal ÷ revolution of wheel = 1

Torque on the pedal = Force × Length

= 20 × 16.5 10^(-2)

= 3.30 N m

So, Angular acceleration = Torque ÷ Moment of inertia

= 3.30 ÷ 12 × 10^(-2)

= 27.50 rad ÷ S^2

Since wheel started rotating from rest, so initial angular velocity = 0 rad/S

Now, Angular velocity = Initial angular velocity + Angular Acceleration × Time

= 0 + 27.50 × 1.2

= 33 rad/S

Hence, Tangential velocity = Angular velocity × Radius

= 33 × 33 × 10^(-2)

= 10.9 m/S

Rasek [7]

Answer:

99.95%

Explanation:

A double pulsar system named PSR J0737-3039A/B  in Puppis constellation was discovered in the year 2003. Pulsars are second most densest object in the universe after black holes and they emit radio waves at regular intervals. This pair presented a great and natural setup to test the Theory of General Relativity presented by Einstein in 1915. In this theory Einstein had presented a set of equations on how the space-time fabric will be curved because of the very dense objects such as Neutron stars. It also predicted how the gravitational waves are created because of stars orbiting each other.

A team of astrophysicists led by Michael Kramer, conducted a study on how these gravitational waves will impact the time in which the radio waves emitted by pulsars will reach Earth. The result of the study proved the theory of General Relativity to be accurate up to 99.95%.

A dolphin swims due east for 1.90 km, then swims 7.20 km in the direction south of west. What are the magnitude and direction of
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

magnitude = 7.446 km, direction = 75.22° north of east

Explanation:

From the questions,

To get the the magnitude of the resultant vector we use Pythagoras theorem

a² = b²+c²

From the diagram,

y² = 1.9²+7.2²

y² = 55.45

y = √(55.45)

y = 7.446 km.

The direction of the dolphin is given as,

θ = tan⁻¹(7.2/1.9)

θ = tan⁻¹(3.7895)

θ = 75.22° north of east

Hence the magnitude of the resultant vector = 7.446 km, and it direction is 75.22° north of east
